Got a last minute work trip to London tomorrow so I'm taking DD (15) with me to celebrate the end of her exams.
We're only there tomorrow afternoon and Thursday morning until 2pm but I'd like to take her to some places that celebrate 'gayness' and/or feminism. She came out when she was 13 and is literally the 'only gay (girl) in the village' so it feels like a good opportunity to make her feel less isolated. Normally I'd research this myself but its all very last minute and most of the googling I'm doing is bringing up clubs which aren't really what we're looking for.
So far we're planning a trip to the theatre to see Emilia, plus a trip to Gay's The Word bookshop. Is there anything obvious I'm missing?
I'd massively appreciate any suggestions. We're staying in the Bloomsbury area if that makes any difference.

LGBT London for a feminist teen?

Ooh take her to see the Fawcett statue in parliament square 
and maybe the national portrait gallery to see some portraits famous LGBT/feminist legends. Then a wander around soho? It’s been very much gentrified now but it’s such an important location for uk lgbt culture and it’s fun on a nice day with lots of good cafes etc.
@Lovetunnocks you’re a great mum At 15 I was the Only Bisexual Girl in the Village and parental support and exposure to wider lgbt culture makes SUCH a difference at that age.
Aw thanks knitfast. I hope I'm doing okay in the support/encouragement department but, for balance, I'm a terrible parent in lots of other ways.
